    Rittenhouse is a white supremacist and a murderer, and that’s why you admire him.

      Rittenhouse is a white supremacist

      Seriously doubt it (I know how freely and thoughtlessly your kind throws labels like these around, after all), but if he actually is, then he’s wrong to be. Obviously. Racism is dumb.

      and a murderer

      Nope. Rittenhouse’s attackers were all attempted murderers, though. But thwarting a person’s attempt to kill you with lethal force, is not murder.

      It’s actually quite telling that these arguments/claims basically amount to “we’re criticizing him for not allowing himself to be murdered by maniacs”. As if one deserves to die for extinguishing a dumpster fire.

      Absurd.

        My kind? Which minority that you hate do you suppose I am?

          Accusing someone of bigotry or racism when they’ve exhibited nothing of the sort doesn’t strengthen your argument, it weakens the words, which is unfortunate because those sorts of accusations need to remain strong for situations where they are truthful.

          My kind?

          Yes; namely, ideologues who value maintaining their ‘narrative’ so highly that they will reject even the most inarguable facts, if they are inconvenient to that narrative.

          Which minority that you hate do you suppose I am?

          Ironically, the demographic described above is probably the majority these days.

          I was amused at your projection though, assuming I was talking about a demographic defined by some superficial trait or another (race, sex, etc.). I’m not a bigot, even if you’d like desperately for me to be, as it’d give you an excuse to ignore and invalidate what I say, even though it’s obviously and demonstrably true and accurate.

          Maybe it’s time for you to start dealing with reality on reality’s terms, instead of the fiction you’ve created for yourself out of convenience. Confirming bias is easy, but it is not a path to the truth.
